[s-cars] Tools for TB change

[Sean Douglas]

Douglas:

I did mine a few months ago. I'd recommend reading up on it and get all
the tools and parts assembled before you do the job. Check out this site
for detailed info http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/eng.html#tim

I rented the tools from blau, but you can also rent from force5. I would
not attempt this without renting the proper tools. Other than that you
will need a good set of metric wrenches and sockets, long allen key to
get the bumper off and a 3/4 breaker bar to get the crank bolt loose.
You will also need a torque wrench that goes up to 258 lb-ft to tighten
the crank bolt back up.

If you are prepared and you take your time, it should take anywhere from
8-12 hours. At the same time, its worth doing the t-belt idler /
tensioner, water pump, thermostat, s-belt and s-belt tensioner, crank
seal and cam seal.

Regards,

Sean
